2-13 updated..
Cleaned the engine up, degreaser, pressure washer and some brush action. So far, so good. Confirmed it was rebuilt about 4000 miles ago. 30 over and not sure what else. I believe it has solid lifters, but not sure.. yet... So far, so good. Will spray with engine primer then 2-3 coats of engine paint. I'm using gray which I think is period close. It's not 'blue/gray' but...
My plan is to get the engine painted, clean upand paint (I purchased some header paint good to 1200 degrees) the manifolds, new gaskets on the thermostat housing, fuel pump, etc...
I'll get a new Patricks short conversion waterpump. Not sure if I want to do the 12 V conversion at this time or not. Patricks has a kit that they said would work fine.
I'll also use my flywheel and bell housing...
I'm hoping I feel a little difference between the 216 and this 235 (92 vs 145??HP)
